I finally replaced the water pump and the thermostat. For this, I did not completly removed the fan, just pushed it downwards until having enough room to work on the water pump.
However, the coolant/oil temperature behavior did not change after doing a road test.
Coolant rises temp until ~220F, time at which the fan starts working and it goes down to 180F. On road driving, the coolant stays between 170-185F on "Confort driving".
The oil temp oscillates around 200-210F, when before, it was around 220-230F.
I would say that my car is around 20F lower than it should be...
Could it be that the coolant temperature sensor is failing?
